04LH7-3 - Cheryl Batts - WALKING THE STREETS OF OUR MINDS - (Donation $4.00) Galatians 5:15 "But if you bite and devour one another, beware lest you be consumed by one another" Sis. Batts introduces the subject of spiritual abuse, which is done by verbal and spiritual manipulation. She details how friends, prayer partners, and church leaders can manipulate us verbally, shows how pride can lead to spiritual control. Spiritual abuse can come from shepherds who feed themselves and not the flock, those who have greed for gain, those with the hard heart of legalism and finally the hypocrites. These are explained in scripture: the misinterpretation of scriptures to justify excessive discipline, turn the other cheek, forgive always, never appeal to secular authority, wives submit always and never dwell on crime are examined and explained. She then lists the 15 symptoms of a dysfunctional church resulting from abuse. And outlines the correcting course to return to a normal relationship.
